I think it would be nice to have another tag for people who fix bugs in the original patch. The Reviewed-by tag implies approval of the whole patch and anyway reviewers don't normally comment unless they see a bug. Maybe something like:
Contributor: Your Name <email@address.com>
So the tags for developers would be:
Signed-off-by: The patch went through you. Legal responsibility. Acked-by: You know what you are talking about and approve. Reviewed-by: You reviewed the patch and approve. Contributor: You noticed or fixed a bug in the patch.
regards, dan carpenter
